The story takes place shortly after the final episode of the original Mando series. Mando and Grogu travel through the galaxy to defeat Imperial warlords attempting to revive the Empire after its defeat and the rise of the New Republic. After an action-heavy opening, the plot centers on helping the Hutts by rescuing Rotta, Jabba’s pitfigther son, from a criminal. The Hutts offer information about a hard-to-find Imperial warlord the New Republic seeks. Plans change quickly, pushing Mando and Grogu into conflict with the Hutts and leading to escalating trouble. The film avoids major franchise crossovers and focuses on a side adventure featuring the duo, with no lightsabers, Jedi, or Sith appearances.
"Out now in theaters, Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu is set shortly after the events of the final episode of the original Mando show. Grogu and his former-bounty-hunter dad are now going around the galaxy and taking down Imperial Warlords who are trying to revive the Empire after it was defeated by the Rebellion and replaced by the struggling New Republic. After an action-packed opening showing Mando and Grogu taking down a warlord, the movie's real plot kicks in."
"The two need to help some Hutts out by saving their nephew, Jabba's hulked-up pitfigther son Rotta, from a criminal. In exchange, the Hutts will give up a hard-to-find Imperial Warlord that the New Republic is hunting. Pretty quickly, plans change, and Mando and Grogu end up getting on the wrong side of the Hutts and into a lot of trouble."
"It's a fairly simple story that, thankfully, doesn't intersect with six other Star Wars characters or plotlines in some desperate attempt to make this movie more important than what it is: a side story about a cute little bugger and his cool dad on an adventure together. There's no scene where Luke Skywalker shows up, or Yoda's Force Ghost pops in, or an early version of Snoke appears."
"Also not included: A single lightsaber, Jedi (unless you count Grogu), or Sith. This is a first for a Star Wars movie. Even Solo had to sneak in Darth Maul at the end."
